Seems that those semi-wily accountants over at nearby 32 Sarbanes
Plaza have gone and gotten themselves in some hot water.
I strongly suspect that they are DEEEEEEEPLY implicated in
the global financial crisis.
Something about "Entitlement to the unamortized net carry-trade or
swaption-clearing sale proceeds shall be granted only if all
collection procedures have been cleared by the relevant banks where
and if such banks are authorized to collect foreign exchange
payments, or consignment sales statements have been received from
the BIS sales agent where a sales agent has been appointed pursuant
to applicable laws, regulations, and precedents and if the
aforementioed conditions cannot be documented then you're clearly
in whole world of trouble, boy."
Whoa, doesn't sound too good!
At any rate, one of the Green Eyeshade Gang apparently hid a stash
of foreign currency on the edge of the nearby Gamelands. No doubt
trying to avoid the long arm of the law. From what I have been able
to gather from recently-unsealed court records, that stash might
include the following currencies:
Africa: South Africa (rand and cents), Namibia (dollars,
cents), Ethiopia (bir), Kenya (shilling), West African francs
Asia: Japan (yen), Indonesia (rupiah), China
(renminbi)
Europe: UK (pounds and pence), France (francs), Euro (and
cents), Italy (lira), Switzerland, Germany (marks and pfennigs),
Bulgaria (stotinki), Russia (rubles)
Other: Guatemala (Quetzal), Guyana (dollars), Argentina
(centavos), Haiti (gourde)
A decently diverse collection. These guys had clearly been up to no
good in any number of places and for a good while.
An enterprising cacher who found these ill-gotten gains interesting
could perhaps expand their own collection by trading-in some coins
from other countries and regions or even US coins from past
eras.
Rumor has it The Green Eye Shade Gang wrote "Coins, coins, and
more coins!" somewhere on a notebook in their hidden stash. Who
knows why? They should clearly figure out what they want to call
their stash before they go and put it out, don't you
think?
